WHEN TO ADMINISTER MEDICINE.
Before or AMER Meals An Answer TO
the Q,etoh-Resson- whv.


IN dlard M,Iical Mis~dl'nv
Medicines that are irritating should
be given after meals, when the stomach
is full, viz, the salts of copper, zinc.
iron and arsenic in large doses. Small
doses, intended to act on the stomach
terminals of the vagi, must be given
when the organ is empty. hemical
reasons also have their in .ucnce, thus,
oxide and nitrate of silver. intended for
local act on, should appear in the
stomach during it's rerio of inactivity,
lest. at 9th r times, chemical reactions
DESTROY the special attributes for which
these remedies are prescribed.
Iodine and the iodides further illus
trate this point. Given on an empty
stomach, they promptly di irse into the
blood, but if dig, stiOn is going OH the
acids and starch form products OF in-
ferior activity, and thus the purpose
which they are intended to subserve is
defeated. Substances prescribed to
have alvine action on the mu' US menu
brane, or for prompt diffusion unal-
tered, are preferably given before
meals The condition of the stomach
veins after meals is such as to lessen the
activity of diffusion of poisons and him
der their passage through the liver. 1t
follows that active medicaments in
doses near the dangerlne are more
safely administered after meals
When shall acids and alkalies be
given, before or after meals. First, as
to acids When acids are prescribed
with the view to check the excessive
formation of the acids of the gastric
juice they may be given before meals =
as, by the laws of osmosis, they will de-
termine the glandular flow of the aka
line constituents of the blood. The same
reasoning would hold good if the aka
line condition of the blood is in excess:
osmosis being favored, the acid would
reach the blood the more readily.
Second, as to alkalies. These may be
given Just before meals, when the acid
forming materials in the blood diffuse
into the stomach glands, and after di-
gestion is completed. when the alsalies
diffuse directly into the blood, without
interference from the contents of the
stomach. An alkali taken during the
time when the reaction of the stoma h
juices should be strongly acid must
necessarily hinder, if not arrest, the di-

The Worlds scavenger..

ltHob'- Democrat BOOK RevieW.I
The dust from the world is often far
from harmless, and sometimes contains
germs of dangerous diseases. With
provident care, nature, with the evil,
has provided a remedy, for wherever
substances are found likely to be harm
full, means of disposing of them to the
best advantage is found. Decaylng
vegetation has its influence for evil in
large part removed by the heat of the
sun and the drying of the wind.
Dead animals, in almost every part
of the world, are disposed of by other
animals which use them as food. So
highly appreciated are the services of
some of these animal scavengers that in
some countries it is unlawful to kill a
dog, while in many the vultures are
carefully protected as the most valuable
conservators OF the public health.
Beetles, worms and other creatures do
their share. and by their united efforts
in tropical countries the decaying car
cass of a dead animal is seldom left
long to poison the air, but disappears
in few hours. Among the most valu-
able scavengers are the ants.

Il have been very much interested

squirrels" remarked Mr.. Isaac n. La
BOiteaux.
II didn't know that squirrels ever

'Ies, they do. They don migrate
annually like the birds, but they change
their place of residence at long periods.
There are great numbers or squirrels
round my place on College hill, and this
fall noticed they were not to be seen.
Usually at this season OF the year the
squirrels are busy gathering nuts,
and the woods are noisy with
their short, sharp bark, but now none
Of them are to be found or heard.
Some time ago | predicted squirrel
migration and now find that l was a
true prophet. read in the papers that
thousands of them are crossing the
Mississippi from east to west. re-
member when was boy of a squirrel

thousands of the little animals swim
ming the Great Miami. They swim
with their tails out of water, and if by
any mischance squirrel gets his tail
wet he is helpless. At that time,
recollect, boys stood on the bank of the
river, and when the squirrel came near
they would knock their tails into the
water. Then it was an easy matter to
wade in and catch them"

Every tourist who comes TO Wyoming

deadly i,attlesn Ike mountain and
warned not to bathe in the famous
Clinging spring The spring is ina val
ley of the widest Leauty 1t is circular
in form and perhaps 90 feet IN circum-
ference. The water is clear and two
feet deep. The temperature during the
fall is OF blood warmth and during the
remainder of the year icy cold. The
beautiful spring entices the tired trav-
eler or the mountain tramp to bathe i'll
its waters. But the pleasant tempta-
tion conccals deadly snare. Many
have bathcd, but it was the bath of
death. The bottom which, through
the pellucid waters seems to be COM
posed of white sand almost marble
like in purity AMI polish, is in
reality sucking quagmire, and once
within its clinging grasp there is no
such thing as aid or escape.
Men without numner have perisheti
in this fatal trap. some with agonized
friends standing not more than a score
of feet away and utterly powerless.
While the spring is remote from any
high road. or even any general trail all
around, it is noted hunting region.

once treated would be exposed to hydro
phobia if he had the ill-luck to be bitten
again. He replied that the virus acted
very slowly, and that consequently, by
the incubation of the attenuated virus
In the dose of three-quarters OF cubic
centimetre, a patient was made not sus
ceptible of the malady. The virus of
the bite locali ed itself completely dur
ing the time when the rest of the body
had been rendered refractory. Now,
whatever be the part where the virus is
deposited by the bite, if the inocIlation
lasts as he has shown by experiment, a
year and half, the virus deposited by
the bite will have digested, and will no
longer exist in the body of the patient
who has been cured. 1t can no longer
produce any effect, as it has ceased to
exist.
In the case of Pupille, after the lapse
of six days, the virus through the
wounds had not yet left the hands,
which had been bitten. Consequently
the virus had not yet penetrated into
any of the regions where its presence
causes an outbreak of rabies es-that is to
say, into any of the parts connected
with the nervous system corresponding
to the cerebral region. 1t will remain
cooped up. but after some months it
will be digested and expelled. The
virus has not, therefore, retrospective
effect, but its progress is arrested by
the treatment, and it is digeste1, while
the patient remains not susceptible.
The treatment thus neutralizes the
malady by localizing the virus, which

The Colars ~ Animals.

As a rule the parts of animals most
exposed to rays of light are, other
things being equal, richest in coloring
matter. The backs of wild animals are
usually, and with few exceptions, las
among nocturnal and burrowing ami
mails, more strongly colored than their
bellies
Another class of exc options may be
seen among fishes of certain families
which lie on their sides instead of on
their bellies, and expose not their backs
but one of their sides 10 the light. In
these fishes the upper side is colored,
while the under side, next to the ground
and the darkness. is not. Articulates
also have their upper sides most strongly
colored, although what in them answers
most nearly to the dorsal column is next
to the ground. The parts of the shells
of molusks which are in contact with
the ground are uncolored, while the
parts exposed to the light shine with
varied tints, and this, whatever may be
the peculiar positions assumed by par
ticular shells. or individuals of the
same race, the abundance OF the color
ing matter is gsneraly propOrtioned to
the intensity ofthe light 10 which they
are exposed.
1t is we'll known that the skin is
tanned 10y light, that people from the
north are rowned by living in the
south, and that ruddinrss and freckles
appear under the action of the sunlight.
Some people the white race, like the
liindus and the oorS that live in
southern climates. are frequently
darker skinned than the negroes them
selves. Still wo can not affirm that
light is the only causc of these changes.

Valuable Crystalline Coating.
New Orleans Tim-s-Democrat.


A valuable crystalline coating for
wood or paper may obtained, it is
stated, by mixing very concentrated
cold solution of salt with dextrine, and
laying the thinnest coating of the huid
on the surface to be covered by means
of broad soft brush. After drying,
the surface has q beautiful, bright,
mother-of-pearl coating, which in con-
sequence Of the dextrine, adheres firmly
to paper and wood. The coating may
be made adhesive to glass by doing it
over with an alcoholic shellae solution.
Sulphate of magnesia, acetate of soda,
and sulphate of tin are among the salts
which produce the most attractive
crystalline coatings. Paper must first
be sized, otherwise it viii absorb the
liquid and prevent the formation Of
crystals.
